"Le choc de l`archi. On lui doit la collection culte Architecture Now et les non moins élégantes monographies de Norman Foster, Richard Meier, Alvaro Siza, Tadao Ando et Renzo Piano. A l`heure où, le beau temps aidant, on rêve de destinations inconnues, Philip Jodidio nous embarque dans un tour de l`architecture contemporaine. Intitulée Architecture in, cette nouvelle collection présente, pays par pays, la vingtaine d`architectes considérés comme les plus talentueux du moment. Une sorte de Guide du Routard de l`architecture, version chic et érudite."
